MP played his hand in a manner similar to AK. If he bet, I would overcall but not like it. I think the c/r gets AK to fold a non-insignificant amount of time.

You are not putting him on a hand that specific, right?

If you are saying that AK is consistent with his play, and that the c/r may fold AK those times that he has it, then I like your reasoning.

In any case, I like the c/r.

Re: How do we like this river checkraise?
 

Hmm. If MP2 has AK, I suspect he was planning to checkraise with it himself. If he has AK and is worried about a set and plans to check-call the river, why did he even continue past the turn? (Well, I guess he might be hoping you and CO are in fact both on draws.)

What's MP2 going to put you on that gets him to lay down AK? KJ? I guess that's possible. A slowplayed set? Well, we certainly can't rule that out at 5/10.

Anyway, though, my thinking is that MP2 is not likely to hang around with AK this long and then fold TPTK now to a checkraise out of nowhere, but I'm not really sure.

But since MP2 may in fact just have AQ, I'm thinking the checkraise could be for value versus CO anyway.

MP folded, CO called and showed KJ, and MHING.

Re: How do we like this river checkraise?
 

What range are you putting MP2 on? AK, AQ, AJ, A10s, KJ, QJ, J10, 1010, 99, 88? (Discounting AJ and KJ b/c I think most 5/10 players will play these stronger on the flop or turn)

I don't see him playing many other hands the way he did.

If this is the range then there is no reason to try knocking him out as he might be inclinde to call one bet with a much less holding.

I like a b/f line here. We can trap the bet of MP2 who might call, but not overcall. I think we can safely fold to a river raise by CO as he has shown nothing but agression and any XJ hand here other than KJ is not raising.

Re: How do we like this river checkraise?
 

I don't like it. If MP2 has you beat he's never folding, I like a call here, hoping MP2 will overcall with a hand you likely beat.
